In the UK its 250W, and electric assistance (not pure electricity power only, but pedal assisted) up to 15.5MPH. Anything else is a moped, light motorcycle, or motorcycle, depending on the weight and top speed.
People do take the piss a bit over here with de restricting electric bicycles and there have been some widely publicised fatalities. I don't know why they bother because a moped test is cheap and easy if they want a 30mph electric 2 wheeler, but I guess some people are just born dumb. Anyway, if it carries on I can see them being banned unless the rider is licenced, which has already happened in Northern Ireland.
